    Out of curiosity…

    There are four short stories within this book. How would you rank all of them to you. Me personally:

    1. Story #2
    2. Story #1
    3. Story #4
    4. Story #3

    (Not spoiling them here)

  • "Window" books, help me make a list!

    Hello everyone! I am currently reading North Woods by Daniel Mason, and it reminded me of this specific type of book; now I want to make a list! I hope this doesn't feel like yet another post about book recs; I'm looking for something fairly niche for my list.

    There is a certain type of book I like to call "window books." It is a book where nothing really happens. It's like you're looking through a window into the character(s)'s life... the curtain opens, we observe, and then the curtain closes. Most of the time, there is no "resolution." You are around for a section of the journey, and then it carries on without you. I don't know if it has an actual name or not, but I'd like to make a list of these books!

    This is where I need help-- I need two more books to actually create the list. So far, I have:

    1. North Woods
    2. The Curious Incident of the Dog at Night-time
    3. The Grapes of Wrath (I think this falls into this category.. but it's been years since I read it)

    My criteria is fairly strict. The books cannot have the typical path of a novel with climax-resolution. The book might be extremely mundane. We should feel like the book ended but the story continued, like peeking into the window of someone's life. I hope this makes enough sense that I get a few recommendations for my list (and my TBR)!

    I hate that the author uses ā€˜these’ for quotes, instead of ā€œtheseā€. I don’t know that I’ve ever seen someone do that in a novel before and it feels unnatural. Otherwise, we’re off to a good start.

  • Removed Books

    Just wondering have there been any books removed from this quest recently?

    I noticed that I've read 4 from this quest and got excited thinking that I only needed to read one to get the bronze badge, only Pagebound is saying that I've already got it.

    I saw a post on a different quest where a book had been added accidentally to the quest & removed and that was why a few people were shown as having completed the quest with one book short & I was wondering if that was the same case here? It's no issue, I just wanted to make sure it's not a glitch or bug that I need to report.

    (Will also be trying to prioritise one of these reads to make sure I've earnt the badge earnestly!)

  • Now that March is fully upon us… friendly reminder ✨

    I love seeing all of the beautiful butterflies šŸ¦‹šŸ¦‹šŸ¦‹ in my feed! And I’ve seen great conversations about reading streaks and excitement for monthly wrapped.

    But I think it’s also important to remember that everyone’s reading journey is their own. If you can get that gorgeous sparkly completion badge for the Spring Readalong that’s great. But if it’s also not for you, or you don’t have the time or energy for it that is also great. Don’t forget to place value on your time and your energy. And if you lose that streak? It’s not the end of everything. Maybe you needed to prioritize something else that day.

    We can lift one another up and celebrate each other’s accomplishments, just remember to not compare your journey with anyone else’s and be sure to lift yourself up. Comparison truly is the thief of joy ✨

    Happy March, Boundlings! šŸŒøšŸŒæā˜€ļø
